This article is in good shape. A few comments:

in the lead, when listing the P5, suggest Soviet Union (now Russia) and link Soviet Union at first mention above and at first mention in the body

Done

US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and be consistent with U.S. and US throughout

Done (I think I got them all)

United States Department of State is duplinked

unlinked second mention

"favored an international organization" is a bit obvious, do you mean a "multi-national organization" this appears at the end of the para also

Sure, changed both mentions

nations→nation's

yup, got it

United Nations Ccontrol

changed

suggest "US/UK Combined Chiefs of Staff command structure used in World War II"

good idea

"The Military Staff Commission was established" as you've defined MSC as Military Staff Committee in the lead, unless the name was changed at some stage, if so include details of when it changed

That was my oversight, it should have been committee.

"membership of the Committee" same comment as immediately above

Think I got it

"the Military Staff Committee was established" was it established as the Military Staff Commission or Military Staff Committee?

It was a committee. I think what tripped me up was that it was originally proposed as the Security and Armaments Commission but created as the Military Staff Committee

"advise and assist the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)" and link (drop later link)

Done

"By mid-October" of what year?

1945, added

"Conflict over the organization's size" there is another example of organizations which needs an apostrophe

added both

it would be good to include the ranks of the military officers mentioned

added

organised→organized for consistency

added

"At the first meeting in January" in what year?

Actually was February 1946

"participate i nthe MSC"

Done

Security Council→UNSC

Done

not sure what is meant by "However, more than half of the reports 41 articles saw unanimous agreement." missing words?

rephrased as However, the MSC unanimously agreed to more than half of the 41 articles in the report, does that work?

great powers→UNSC P5?

linked Great power, though it's essentially interchangable, so I'd be willing to change it you want to

"British Foreign and Commonwealth Office"

Done

Howard Johnson, Dean Rusk and Henry Abbott? link all and who were they?

Rusk is the only one really notable, the others were minor figures, don't really merit mention

"The MSC was not considered to command troops in the Korean War" if that is correct

Done

"though UN troops were involved" suggest "though it was fought by troops under the United Nations Command headquarters" and link UNC

Done

"Proposals for reviving the ~~Military Staff Committee~~MSC"

Yeah, got it

who is Grove? academic? author?

The article says he's Eric Grove, a naval historian?

" In 1994, the author Kai Bird"

done

the licensing of File:Combined Chiefs of Staff in Quebec.jpg needs work. Who took it, when was it first published etc?

Cannot find that, replaced with a nice PD image of Cordell Hull

the text box quote needs a citation

cited

That's me done, nice work thus far. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
